Topic: Just Spent About $650! (Read 3438 times)

Nothing but the collar has changed from what those guys say. Like I said I have not had any prroblems with mine. I have got 800 yards out of mine. Everyone who has not been happy with the 40 owns a 30 and likes the 30 better. Never the less I won't turn a dog loose without my garmin!!

Yes I read about the changes to the collar in the magazine, american cooner and full cry. The guys on the ukc coonhound board also voiced the changes to the collar. The guys on the board are the ones who have used the 40 on coondogs and said they were having issues they did not have with the 30. I wasn't trying to call the unit you purchased junk. I was merely bringing up that the collar has issues that have made a few guys using it unhappy with its performance. These are not guys who have never used the 30 nor guys who used the 40 1 or 2 times. With that said, I have not had any trouble with my 30 and it has been used like a saddle on a horse! your going to love the tracking system. It makes running a young dog a lot less stressfull.

Yeah, we've been out a few times with it. The little feller didn't much care for it the first time out since he wasn't used to it, but it doesn't seem to bother him now. From what I've seen so far, I don't have any complaints over it. Once the leaves start falling off the trees and squirrels get on the ground more, we'll be getting out more.

I think it's in the Do-It-Yourself section, I posted a link to a site where you can download different maps for the Garmin, all free. The topo maps are better detail than the ones you can buy from Garmin, and free beats the heck out of the $100 that Garmin wants for theirs.
